The OPEN BOX Project will be a brand-new evening-length collaboration between Rogue Collective and Orange Grove Dance featuring compelling improvised music and movement scores. Performed in the vast tunnels of Dupont Underground, the architecture serves as rich inspiration for this interactive evening, which explores how space, material, light, and sound affect the experiences and actions of their inhabitants. Influenced by American minimalism and popular music the string players of Rogue Collective will blend their sounds and creations with the dynamic, virtuosic, and visually athletic choreography of Orange Grove Dance.

What in the world do ballet and juggling have in common? Both are mathematical, architectural, and athletic endeavors based on people tracing pathways in space. Be there as four jugglers and four ballet dancers share a stage in this cross-art-form experience, leaving unseen patterns everywhere, defying the limitations of gravity and inspiring awe in the audience. Directed by world renowned juggler Sean Gandini, and choreographed by Royal Ballet dancer Ludovic Ondiviela, the show features the original composition Suspended opus 69 by Nimrod Borenstein as well as the lighting design talent of Guy Hoars. Accompanying the performance is rogue collective, an innovative DC-based string ensemble.

Gandini Juggling was formed in 1992 by Sean Gandini and Kati Ylä-Hokkala.

4x4: Ephemeral Architectures premiered at the 2015 London International Mime Festival at the Royal Opera House, where it received rave reviews.

Pop music, Indian dance, and the circus have all been the inspiration for this juggling dance troupe.

Domingues and Kane: Amy Domingues and Dennis Kane mesh the tranquil sounds of a 500 year old stringed instrument with electronics to create an organic blend of technology and musicianship that transcends genre. Their music is built on musical traditions equally ancient and contemporary. Amy Domingues creates hauntingly delicate melodies performed with an electronically treated viola da gamba (a predecessor to the cello), while Dennis Kane constructs rich soundscapes and accompaniments via electronics and keyboards.

Thursday, March 10th and Friday, March 11th at 7:30pm in the Kogod Theater at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, University of Maryland College Park.

HauntingsBy Julia SmithHauntings is a collection of portraits exploring what it means to live and dance after half a life. Themes of love, beauty, grief and nostalgia emerge as Smith and her fellow artists depict characters wrestling with the complexities of intimate relationships, impermanence and mortality. The dances draw inspiration from the music and poetry of Chopin, Debussy, Charles Trenet, Scriabin, Richter, John Keats, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, W.B Yeats and Robert Lowell.

Invoking JusticeBy Curtis StedgeInvoking Justice is a gritty and macabre cross-cultural survey of magical justice, in our shared mythology, that places the human collective on trial, as it explores the testimony that lies at the very depths of the human soul.
